In our previous article we discussed how you can make money with our Starter Kits that build platform games and pinball apps. These type apps are relatively easy to setup, as they mostly just require new art, some creative level design, and some simple property changes.  This article we’ll discuss using our kits that are designed to let you build apps that immerse your users in whatever world you want to create. The end result is an app that shows off your strongest talents, and while that might require a bit longer to create, it should net a higher return, for a long time to come.
The Story Tellers Starter Kit and our new Role Playing Games Starter Kit might seem light years apart in the kind of apps they produce, but they are both about telling a story. You can create an interactive book, choose your own adventure novel, a challenging quest, fun adventure – or in other words, an app your user really wants to finish it. Or as is often the case, something a parent is willing to pony up another $2-$3 to see their kid continue to enjoy.
How many of us as kids had every Dr. Seuss book? Or every Calvin and Hobbes compilation. How many of us have rebought those same books from our childhood just to relive how great they were. The classic Atari and Nintendo games are another great example of content so good, publishers continue to republish it because we keep rebuying it (Pac-Man and Mario Bros come to mind for me).
Point is, you have access to a platform (and store) that isn’t going anywhere. So whether you want to create an amazing story book for the iPad, or an incredible RPG, you can do it today and rest assured, you can make money off your work for years, even decades to come.
